Indianapolis Negligent Security Attorneys

How Negligent Security Contributes to Serious Injuries

Under Indiana
premises liability law, property owners are required to keep their premises reasonably safe
for visitors. In certain cases, this includes taking adequate security
measures to ensure that anyone who is legally allowed on the property
does not suffer undo harm. For example, if an apartment complex owner
knows that her building is in a relatively unsafe area, she should hire
qualified security personnel and install cameras in and around the building.
Failure to do so can be considered negligence.

Negligent security can lead to severe injuries in myriad ways, most notably
in the case of assault. If a person is attacked on public or private property
because the property owner did not take sufficient steps to keep the premises
safe and secure, the injured victim can take legal action. The Indianapolis
negligent security lawyers at
Tabor Law Firm can help you understand your legal rights and options.

Examples of Negligent Security

By law, property owners must take measures to prevent “reasonably
foreseeable” harmful acts by third parties on their property. An
assault or another harmful act may be “reasonably foreseeable”
if criminal activity has occurred on the premises before or if the property
is in an area that has a high crime rate. Failure to take proper precautions
to prevent such activity may be deemed “negligent security,”
and the property owner may be liable for any injuries or deaths that occur
as a result.

Poor or insufficient lighting in secluded areas, such as parking structures

Misconduct by security guards

For example, an individual enters a hotel where there is no front desk
or security guard on duty. As such, the individual is not stopped, questioned,
or searched. This individual then attacks a guest of the hotel using a
weapon he brought into the building. The victim suffers severe injuries,
requiring extensive medical treatment and forcing the victim to take weeks
off work in order to heal. In this example, the victim may be able to
hold the hotel owner liable for the attack due to negligent security.
